You Be The Coach Thread

[TigerPower]

It's simple, you decide where the Richmond Football club is at on and off the field, and what we need to improve on to be a successful club on and off the field.

I'll start by saying on the field our list development is coming along very well. We took it up to a top 4 side for 3 quarters and a half quarters with about 5 players missing. We have depth now, can push for top 4.

The negatives on-field are that we do not tackle enough, do not apply enough pressure like collingwood, and cannot hit targets enough nor kick straight enough at the goals. Off-field we will be a force if we take care of the onfield stuff this year.

Ditto on the list development, it's nice to see our players coming along however I think our scrappy play is all a result of our players getting themselves into pressure situations they can't get out of. After all these years the one unchanging thing in Richmond is a lack of run and subsequently accountability. If you look at the match against collingwood, they simply outran us, legs or no, Richmond (especially out of the backline), doesn't move, we don't lead enough for our players and as such, you get pressure situations when the person taking the kickout is forced to knock it to a contest.

Get more run on the field, followed by more accountability, and then we'll look competitive. Surely it can't be something a team can't learn, we seem to be the only one's that can't do it.

If I was coach, Id probably take my dollars and buy a boat... or solarium or property or a few magic beans, or a hooker, or a skills coach.
